I recently caught a nasty sinus infection. So far just lots of rest, hot tea, juice, and not so too heavy of a diet. Nothing hard to digest like meats, just more like rice, toast, fruit and easy to digest stuff. So far it seems to be working. Been one week and starting to bounce back to almost 100%. I'll probably start light cardio (walking on a treadmill) tomorrow.

What do you guys typically do to get over colds and flu's? Any tricks?

For a basic, "common" cold, my preferred remedies are Zinc and garlic.

I like some of the OTC Zinc cold products like Zicam, etc.

The garlic really needs to be consumed raw in order for it to be effective.The active ingredient attributed to fighting colds is Allicin, which is mostly destroyed in the cooking process.Rather than eating raw garlic cloves, you can also buy garlic capsules, many of which supposedly contain non-denatured Allicin.

LOL!!!Supposedly, the capsules do not cause that problem.I've only ever used the raw garlic, which you MUST chew, lest it "passes right through" ala corn.

Vit C is one of the active ingredients in Airborne?I know you've touted their praise in the past.

On a side note: I know a guy down the lake who takes garlic caps every day and never has a mosquito touch him; come to think of it - neither does his wife, but I don't know if that's because of the garlic or twenty-plus years of marriage.Maybe the main mechanism through which garlic works is it keeps people far enough away from you that you avoid their germs.

Not true

Yes Airborne has 100mg C plus other herbs adn vitamins. I like the grapefruit flavor. Lime is nasty

I thought I remembered hearing of a lawsuit against the makers of Airborne for false claims or something.I know many people who swear by mega-dosing vit C, so maybe there's a correlation between that and your prescribed large doses of Airborne being effective.
